More rectangles, no trimming..........

After teaching for 5 hours and doing 2 loads of laundry when I got home yesterday, I was able to get 6 more rectangles sewn, but I was too tired to be trusted with a rotary cutter so they aren't triangles yet.

One student was working with strip pieced blocks with irregular width strips. She made several large pieces of strip piecing and then cut squares out of them. I like her layout. She had it almost all sewn together by the time she left.

Another student wanted to learn how to do binding on her 4 patch posy quilt.

I didn't take photos of the other projects. One lady finished sewing a border on a quilt and got her backing pieced. Then she started sewing some other blocks into a top. It was a productive day.

I love strip quilts! and what a good idea to sew the strips and then cut it into squares. It seems like it would be a lot easier than doing all those squares individually. Of course if your pieces are smaller you'd have to.

I started a strip quilt when my friend in Sandwich Pat Redden told me how to make one. What a great way to use of left-overs from other projects. I have a bunch stacked up right now waiting for more so that I can put them together. I can see that you had a busy day yesterday and kuddos to you and your students.
